Agent Gateway: An Identity-Native Control Plane for AI Agents Connecting to Enterprise Tools

Cover of an Okta whitepaper titled "Okta Agent Gateway" with a vibrant orange-to-blue gradient background and a small architectural photo at the bottom.

 

AI agents are multiplying across the enterprise, from SaaS products to coding assistants to custom-built systems. Most operate with a critical challenge: without consistent runtime enforcement in the path of every tool call, a single prompt-injection attack or compromised model can expose far more than the task at hand requires. This whitepaper explains why traditional MCP gateways cannot solve the identity problem and how an identity-native agent gateway addresses this by sitting in the path of each tool call.

The whitepaper details how Okta delivers Agent Gateway across three operational dimensions:

1. Enforcement: Govern agent access at the tool level with immediate effect at the gateway

2. Security: Downstream credentials never leave Okta; agents hold only short-lived tokens

3. Visibility: Every tool call attributed to agent identity, end user, and tool, creating an auditable record across credential rotations
